Parents, you can boycott Disney all you want. But if you aren’t walking them through the word and ensuring they are plugged into a healthy Gospel centered church it probably won’t make a big difference.

After discussing the recent

meeting tonight, there was an overwhelming response in my church that we cannot send our money to a group that cannot be trusted to fulfill their wishes.

When did we get to a point in

where simply standing up for sexual abuse survivors makes us some sort of a hero? The bar is very low when simply doing the right thing puts you in some sort of special class.

For those that care, the

Christ’s name and his church then let it go.

We have

Dear Church, there is a true opportunity for abortion to be outlawed with the current Supreme Court case. Therefore, in order to be truly pro-life, we need to fill in the gaps in dealing with poverty, adoption, foster care.

I am afraid that
@joethorn
is correct. As a member of the
@SBCExecComm
we did not do what the messengers specifically requested. Some of us fought and fought well for it.
The
@SBCExecComm
will be what moves many Bible teaching, gospel preaching, mission-minded baptist churches to leave the SBC. The next annual meeting will be the last one for many... Unless there is repentance/change.

I wasn’t aware that child porn constituted sex abuse. Or that the word “apparently” had disappeared from that screenshot.

Riding home with my family listening to a “Christian” radio station and it took 6 songs before I heard the name of Jesus. And I still haven’t heard sin mentioned. Superficial “praise” music is not healthy if it doesn’t accurately reflect the Gospel.

The only people I've seen against waiving privilege are people outside the EC who are connected to CBN, those inside the EC connected to the CBN, and members of the EC, or staff of the EC. That’s about it.

it's no longer a cogent argument to say that the

Children born with any number of physical, emotional, and learning disabilities have value, dignity, and worth based on their being created in God's image. This is antithetical to the Gospel. Greg Locke is a false teacher. Stay away.
Christian hate-preacher Greg Locke said this morning that children with autism actually suffer from demon possession.
"Your kid could be demonized and attacked, but your doctor calls it autism."
He added: "Ain't no such diagnosis in the Bible."
